All,
Just an early reminder for those participating in this tour.
It is a tagalong tour so each van requires a CB radio onboard for communication to the group. Maybe Santa will provide it, so long as the order is placed in time and you've been good all year.
Cheers.
Ken

Michael,
 
In short .... yes and yes.
 
However may I suggest though ... a half decent 2 or 3 watt (5 watt is better) portable (handheld) CB radio plus some spare batteries would suffice, so long as one stays within CB radio range of the group leader. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen, which then makes things somewhat difficult for all and sundry.
 
Ideally, all participants need the ability to be "in the loop", i.e., send/receive info to/from the tour leader and/or others in the group for each days tagalong. For safety reason alone, it is needed.
 
Hope this helps. Michael, is there a problem with achieving this?
 
Cheers.
 
Ken

Hi Michael,
You can buy on eBay handheld CB 'walkie talkies' for around 60
dollars, I think. I bought some Uniden brand ones for my boys for xmas
a couple of years ago with a range of 3km which seem pretty OK. They
certainly chomp through batteries though. I will be up around
Batemans Bay until about the 15th Jan, returning to Melb via Princes
Hwy (can't squeeze in tour this time, unfortunately). If you're really
stuck, perhaps I could handball said items to you on your way up from
'Coota! Over and out, Francesca.

Perhaps I was getting my terminology mixed up. I was referring to a
handheld 40-channel UHF radio. Is that what is required?

Michael,
Beware lower/lowest wattage CBs. They are great for kiddies in the backyard but can be useless in an emergency when used in hilly terrain offroad inside a vehicle and with no outside aerial. Something akin to being out of range in the bush with your mobile phone .. not a happy feeling. External CB radio aerials are usually an optional extra.

I agree, see then if you can borrow a medium 2-3 wattage handheld CB given time is fast running out for proper research on this topic, starting with googling the topic.
Cheers.
Ken
